Multifunctional Lipophobic Polymer Dots from Cyclodextrin: Antimicrobial/Anticancer Laborers and Silver Ions Chemo-Sensor.

ABSTRACT: β-Cyclodextrin (CD) is currently exploited for the implantation of lipophobic polymer dots (PDs) for antimicrobial and anticancer laborers. Moreover, the PDs were investigated to act as a chemo-sensor for metal detection. The data revealed that under basic conditions, photoluminescent PDs (5.1 nm) were successively clustered with a controllable size at 190 °C, whereas under acidic conditions, smaller-sized non-photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles (2.9 nm) were obtained. The fluorescence intensity of synthesized PDs under basic conditions was affected by pH, and such an intensity was significantly higher compared to that prepared under acidic conditions. The PDs were exploited as florescent detectors in estimation of Ag⁺ ions in aquatic streams. Treatment of Ag⁺ ion c
